Have you ever asked a legal immigrant their opinion on all this Illegal Immigrant hoopla? I have a very good friend who came to the US from Canada as a child. He served in the (US)Army, and works as a Postal Worker. I also work with a Vietnamese immigrant who came to the US after going through hell to get here. Both love this country, and have very strong opinions about parasites who are bleeding the system while contributing nothing. Me; I think Arizona has the right idea, but my opinion doesn't count. I was born in the USA and I work for a living and pay my taxes. I think this country has spent way too much time being sensitive to the feelings of those poor unfortunate people, and we've forgotten who is really carrying the load. | ||

Here's my opinion. My wife and I worked long and hard to qualify for our Green cards.We pay our taxes and contribute to our community. We both hold jobs and have done so for all the time we have been in the US. I do not think that illegals should qualify for benefits, or even be here. The USA has a system of "accreditation" for the granting of legal status to foreign nationals. The rules, regulations and laws pertaining to this should be obeyed by all immigrants. If you are illegal you have no business being here. Go home! Chris C | ||

My Dad immigrated from The Ukraine in 1948, as an 8 year old. He, and my Grandparents learned English,went to school and became citizens.They are (were) very proud Americans. I am only recently beginning to find information on their journey-suffice to say-it was a long and difficult process to 'escape' the U.S.S.R. and they endured horrible hardships along the way throughout Europe. My Dad does not talk about it to this day. I can only say that it infuriates him to have to 'press 1 for English'.... Back in the day it had a name. It was called ASSIMILATION. | ||

for me it's hard to view the canadian as an immigrant. your vietnamese friend more than likely did struggle to get over here and knows first hand the difference between what he left and what he has right now. and he probably left during the war or shortly thereafter. there is no war in mexico besides the drug war which their own government doesn't know how to fight and even after all the jobs that were sending them(corporations moving entire plants down there) they still can't seem to get there affairs in order to get their own to stay where they are and stop wanting to come here. we need to help them make up their minds for them and adopt the same laws as AZ in every state. it's one thing if your here to stay but when your here to take the money and send it back across the border, i have a problem with that, not to mention a few other things.oh yea F___ that pc crap. | ||
